How Can The BALM® Family Program Help You?

The BALM® Program welcomes the opportunity to educate families, so they can become true partners in helping the treatment centre turn the tide from chaos to recovery in their family.

Families who go through The BALM® Program often find they are able to get their own lives back, able to contribute consistently to their loved one’s recovery, able to powerfully partner with their loved one’s treatment providers, thus serving as true advocates of their loved one’s recovery.

The BALM® method teaches families how to engage their loved ones in evidence based brief interventions that can encourage loved ones to enter and commit to recovery more quickly. Long term changes in family behavior can also help a loved one avert or shorten slips and relapses.

Who Do We Serve?
The families of people with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and other Use Disorders individually or through the treatment professionals working with them and/or their loved ones.

What Do We Do?
We provide the one-year BALM® Family Recovery Program using the Be A Loving Mirror (BALM®) Method of Family Recovery. This Powerful Educational Program includes instruction and practice in the “Be A Loving Mirror” method, which increases the family member’s inner peace and allows for improved communication that often leads a loved one to choose recovery.

Why Families?
The research shows that when the family gets help, the struggling loved one has a much greater chance of attaining and maintaining recovery. Yet, many families stay in denial and keep enabling, becoming a thorn in the side of their loved one’s recovery professionals rather than the true partners and advocates they could be.

Why Sign Up for the BALM® One Year Family Recovery Program?

This is one of the best things you can do to support yourself, your family and your child – focus on yourself… You will gain the opportunity to connect with others, have the opportunity to share and to be coached, join in a variety of classes as you wish, live and recorded to suit your schedule and you will gain an awareness that will change how you communicate with everyone in your life. While you may not agree with everything the BALM® teaches, you will become very clear on what makes sense for you and your family. There is a lot of information available to you in the BALM® platform and you can take what you want and leave the rest. Having the connection with a community of people with shared experience and goals is invaluable. It is truly a transformational experience and you will learn as much about yourself as you will about your loved ones.

You will be empowered with a new awareness that infuses confidence and intention into your life and can re-establish authentic connection with your struggling child. You can establish peace in yourself, your family and home while becoming your loved one’s best chance at recovery.

Having a child who struggles with addiction is one of the most challenging and lonely journeys a parent can experience, and yet you are not alone. So many families needlessly suffer in silence. Do not take this journey alone. You will have the opportunity to create deep friendships and have a safe haven where you can feel free to talk about your concerns and share and exchange within the community.

Having graduated from the BALM® Family Recovery certification program, I can tell you that there are few such programs being offered in the world. They say “it takes a village” and this can be your village.
